Note: The
following bibliography does not include books that are plagiarisms, with
original authors unrecognized; or translations that are unintelligible to
the point of confusing, rather than informing, the reader.

Brummund,
Ruth: THE BRUMMUND RULEBOOK , AND BRUMMUND URANIAN LEXICON (this
authoritative text is now available only in electronic format within the Special Uranian astrology calculation
program. For more information, click here.) This book
brings Uranian Astrology and midpoint astrology into current times, along
with a breath of fresh air, and is quite suitable as an interpretation
text for conventional midpoint astrology without transneptunian objects or
asteroids. It is validated by Ms Brummund's 50 years of
extensive practical knowledge and experience with both Uranian Astrology
and Cosmobiology. The German original for this text was published in 1990
and has been periodically updated since that time by Ms Brummund, former
Vice-President and research coordinator for the Hamburg School of
Astrology, and founder of the German School of Uranische Astrologie. It provides far more
balanced and comprehensive interpretations of the planetary energies than
older midpoint reference books. Both physical manifestations
and psychological keywords for all pairs and trios are included, as well as
interpretations for some combinations of 4 or even 5 planets. The book
steers the reader away from antiquated techniques that have not proven
their value. Translated into English and substantially annotated by a
certified linguist and 25-year experienced midpoint astrologer.
Annotated version circa 450 pages in English. Unlike wordy American
interpretation texts, the Brummund Rulebook is succint and formatted more
like scientific references. (You may read important
excerpts on the following webpages. The text of the book is now
available in the new professional practice and research Special Uranian
Program). The Brummund Lexicon in electronic format is also
included in the Special Uranian Program -- you can use the Lexicon
function to find the associated planetary pictures for many common
concepts and ideas.

These books were
written to be used with American variations and derivatives of German
Uranian Astrology as taught by Ruth Brummund, and may have their own
unique additions and modifications:

Donath, Emma
Belle: ASTEROIDS IN MIDPOINTS: This is for astrologers who want to use both the four
major asteroids and the Transneptunian objects in their work, and serves
as a good reference in that case. However, even if one does not use the
asteroids in charts, this is useful study material for the abstract
thinker, as it is written in a way that allows one to see Transneptunian
keywords and concepts in the interpretations. 138 pages.

Donath, Emma
Belle: PATTERNS OF PROFESSIONS: 1984: Listing of various midpoints and planetary
pictures that includes both Transneptunians and the 4 major asteroids,
along with descriptions of how the planetary energies relate to
professional activities and functions. Good study material for learning
Transneptunian concepts. 100 pages.

Lang-Wescott,
Martha: THE ORDERS OF LIGHT: 1993: The author includes substantial interpretative information
on both Transneptunians and numerous asteroids, and the reader is free to
choose what information s/he needs. Interpretations interweave both
physical manifestations and psychological factors with indicators of how
they are interdependent. Includes interpretations of all planetary pairs,
and also a large number of planetary triads. One of the most detailed
references on the Transneptunians. Intelligently written. Encourages
independent thinking. Highly recommended. 313 pages.

Lang-Wescott,
Martha: MECHANICS OF THE FUTURE: 1988: Primarily a reference and teaching book
for those who use asteroids, but also includes valuable material on
Transneptunians. 225 pages.

Nauman, Eileen:
MEDICAL ASTROLOGY: this
book describes correlations between astrological factors and health
issues, along with homeopathic and naturopathic remedies. The book
includes information on the medical correspondences of the Transneptunians
and midpoint structures. 357 pages.

Sherman,
Sylvia & Frank-Manske, Jori: SYMPHONY OF THE
PLANETS: (circa
1980): lists of keywords for individual planets, including the
Transneptunians, and for all planetary pairs. Includes some
interpretations for some planetary triads. Excellent for referral in
developing one's own independent interpretive skills. Highly recommended
as a routine reference for those learning Uranian astrology. 318 pages.

EPHEMERIDES, DIALS, CALCULATION REFERENCES

TRANSNEPTUN
EPHEMERIDE 1920-2000, 2001-2050: These are the authoritative ephemerides of Witte and Sieggrün
Transneptunians based on the most recent data, compiled by master Uranian
astrologer Ruth Brummund and published respectively in 1999 and in 2000 in
Hamburg by Udo Rudolph Verlag. The first volume covers the time span
from 1920 to 2000, and the second from 2001 to 2050. Together, these
two books will give the data for practically all people alive today as
well as transiting positions 50 years into the future. While the
print quality and external appearance of some editions has been criticized
from an aesthetic viewpoint, the data is accurate and presented by the
most knowledgeable experts in Uranian Astrology. This reference
emphasizes content over form.

THE NEW
INTERNATIONAL EPHEMERIS 1900-2050: This remarkable 150-year ephemeris volume
for mainstream astrology (plus extras) covers most all birthdates of people alive today along with transiting
positions 50 years into the future. This book plus the 2 Transneptun
Ephemeride, listed immediately above, will give you all needed basic
planetary data for Uranian work on charts of contemporaries. Introduction
in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Published in Paris, and
available from Aureas publishers ataureas@aureas.com.Additional information about the ephemeris in the "Books,
software, supplies" section of http://www.aureas.org/AurUS/Aureas/.htm/Aureas/.htm/Aureas/.htm/Aureas/.htm/Aureas/.htm/Aureas/.htm/Aureas/.htm

DIALS FOR
MIDPOINT ANALYSIS:Numerous
dials are out there on the "market" for "consumption", however some are
designed by skilled research analysts. Martha Lang-Wescott,
accomplished and widely-respected astrological research analyst, has designed these dials for midpoint
work. Like most of the books on this list, these dials are also
available from the Astrology Center of
America athttp://www.astroamerica.com/wescott.html#l40

SOUTHERN TABLE OF
HOUSES:For astrologers who like to keep references for
manual calculation of the MC and Ascendant in southern hemisphere
countries (Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, South Africa,
etc.) without having to convert from tables calculated for northern
latitudes, this convenient southern-latitude reference is available from
the school of Astro*Synthesis in Melbourne at http://www.astrosynthesis.com.au/
.

C. TEXTBOOKS FOR
LEARNING URANIAN TECHNIQUES

A number of
books on Uranian Astrology still in wide circulation teach older
approaches from the period prior to the substantial research and
subsequent updates and improvements in technique since the 1970s.
Those books are not included here.

Ambjornson,
Karl H: URANIAN ASTROLOGY HANDBOOK, also published as THE 90°
DISC: an illustrated introductory guide for
learning to use the 90° dial.

Brummund,
Ruth: THE BRUMMUND TECHNIQUE BOOK; translated by Blake
Finley: (in
preparation)
This book is not to be confused with the earlier-translated "Handbook of
Techniques (for the Hamburg School)" co-authored by Ruth Brummund and Udo
Rudolph, or a book titled "Tools & Techniques for Uranian
Astrologers". In contrast, the Brummund Technique Book is a
separate and distinct book, significantly updated and published in German
nearly 10 years later, translated into English and edited by a certified
linguist and experienced midpoint astrologer. Rather than a
collection of techniques used historically, this is a concise, systematic
instructional text and handbook of current Uranian techniques for everyday
astrological practice. One distinguishing feature of this book is that it
gets to the point and cuts out non-essential historical techniques of
questionable value. Until this book is published, lessons based on these
methods are available to owners of the Special Uranian
Program.

Lang-Wescott,
Martha: MECHANICS OF THE FUTURE: 1988: Primarily a reference and teaching book for
those who use asteroids, but also includes much valuable material on
Transneptunians. 225 pages.

and instructional
texts for Midpoint Astrology that do NOT
include the Transneptunians

Ebertin,
Reinhold: COMBINATION OF STELLAR INFLUENCES(a.k.a. "CSI" or "CoSI" or "KdG"): After
the Rules for Planetary Pictures, this was one of the first midpoint
references available in the 20th century. It includes interpretations
applying to psychology, medicine, sociology, and event manifestations.
While the Hamburg School Rulebook was banned, during World War 2, the
original German edition of the CSI was published, then updated in 1950,
and supplemented with an appendix in 1961. The first English
translation was published in 1960, and the most recent English translation
(as of 2000) contains an added appendix based on the 1961 material.
Ebertin was unjustly critical of Witte's work and the Hamburg School,
while he duplicated many of their techniques and ideas. 256
pages.

Ebertin,
Reinhold: ASTROLOGICAL HEALING: 1989: A well-translated English version of Ebertin's
Sterne helfen heilen, a comprehensive reference on planetary
combinations involved in illness, with suggested remedies. Includes
case diagnoses. One of the most complete and well-documented medical
astrology books in existence. 409 pages.

Kimmel,
Eleonora:
COSMOBIOLOGY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY: 2000: This well-organized, intelligent, and substantial book
reflects the author's 50 years of astrological study, and includes
detailed descriptions and examples of the 90-degree circle, graphic
ephemerides, midpoint analysis (excluding Transneptunians) and
rectification techniques. This is a Cosmobiology textbook, but the
author is open to and respectful of Uranian techniques and the work of
Alfred Witte. This book is suitable as an academic classroom
text. The author focuses on tried and true techniques, and covers
them with precision and depth. 328 pp.

Sandbach, John
& Ballard, Ronn: PLANETARY CONTAINMENTS: A STUDY OF 990
COMBINATIONS: also
known as PLANETS IN
CONTAINMENT: 1980:
This book was designed for interpretation of containments, a technique
propagated by Alexandre Volguine. It also serves equally as a superb
reference for interpreting planetary pairs and trios, perfectly
appropriate for interpreting midpoints. It divides each planetary
combination into constructive and destructive manifestations, so that one
can more clearly objectify what options are available for manifesting the
planetary influences. Emphasizes free-will choices in manifesting
planetary energies. Highly insightful. Written in a way that the reader
can see how the planetary energies combine, and thus very suitable for
teaching how to combine planetary energies in interpretation, whether in
containments or in midpoints. Does not include the Transneptunians;
nonetheless very highly recommended. 323 pages.

Ambjornson,
Karl H: DELINEATION OF MUNDANE EVENTS: from the AFA catalog: Briefly suggests how the 90°
dial can be used to give accurate interpretations of mundane charts,
taking the Transneptunians and planetary equations into
account.

Brau,
Jean-Louis; Weaver, Helen; and Edmands, Allan: LAROUSSE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF
ASTROLOGY: 1977:
This comprehensive reference on Astrology includes entries on the Uranian
System, Cosmobiology, Midpoints, Antiscia, and provides an overall summary
of some of the most important components, issues, and personalities
throughout the history of astrology. This precise, detailed, and
intelligently written book is of value to anyone serious about Astrology,
and contains a number of entries on technical topics and terms in the
field. Helps put the early history of Uranian Astrology into perspective.
Very highly recommended; every serious astrologer should have a copy on
hand. 308 pp. (may be out of print; check used book
sources)

Meyer,
Michael: A HANDBOOK FOR THE HUMANISTIC ASTROLOGER:1974: This text
provides one of the most comprehensive and well-organized summaries of
major astrological techniques, both of tradition and today. The
content of the book is a clear and effective illustration that humanistic
and psychology-oriented astrology is just as, and sometimes more, precise
and scientifically legitimate, as/than exclusively event-based
astrology. Meyer's book summarizes the basic principles of each
major planet up to Pluto, Lunar phases, different types of directions and
progressions, harmonic significance of aspects, one of the most clear and
logical explanations of how the chart is calculated, basic principles of
midpoint interpretation, and a broad range of astrological factors and
techniques described in a clear and concise manner. This is a handy
reference elucidating historical astrology techniques and clearing the
path toward understanding of today's techniques. No information
about Transneptunians. Intelligently written. 362
pp.

Tyl, Noel:
TIMES TO COME:1975: A volume in the series Principles and
Practice of Astrology. This particular volume includes a section that
